A few weeks ago this would have been a certain home banker, not now.

Hopefully the Hudds performance and Wakeys' emphatic win over Dire will have given the players a big kick up the backside and they cant just show up expecting to win!

Centres seem to be our only issue atm, Scott should be ok, fingers crossed either Suttcliffe or Carlos are good to go too, still all to play for (with the results past weekend teams around us losing).

A very difficult game but a must win if we are to grab 6th spot.

Hopefully Sutcliffe will be ok but if not then Carlos should be back.

I certainly wouldn't be disappointed if Lane & Dwyer weren't in the 17 to be honest. Wouldn't like Houghton to have to do a full 80 but unless Balmforth is going to be given a chance then Cator is more than capable to spell Houghton if needed. I'd like to see Staveley given an opportunity too as on current form Lane offers little and has done pretty much all season so don't see that Staveley would offer less. Lane just doesn't seem to have shown much sign of improvement at all this season.

Lane is going backwards at the club and has put in some really poor performances yet Smith continues to select him.
The only slap on the wrist seemed to be his relegation to the bench recently.
Could do with a fresh start with a Champion ship club

Luke Gale masterclass incoming

There biggest threat is Max Jowitt very good fullback, back from injury and there form has improved massively.

Think we need a hooking option from the bench, not sure where that comes from though, got Dywer, Lovodua amd Balmforth, but don't think Balmforth will play and Dywer too erratic.

Think I'd have Lovodua on the bench to play hooker with the option of playing other positions.

Lane must offer something that coaches see and fans don’t. As for Dwyer he must be uncoachable hence flitting from club to club and continuing headless chicken running. Think Balmforth can’t be ready for SL. Hopefully Carlos back. Savelio and Staveley if fit could be second rowers?

Wakefields jeopardy makes it an interesting game.
They’ll probably bring a fair few supporters with them as well.

Hope we see at least one new face. Can’t see it being Balmforth, so hope it’s Staveley.

Doesn't sound like Staveley will be one of them from reading HDM this morning which at the bottom of the article it states [url=https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/hull-fc-hoping-injury-boost-8643466'Nick Staveley has a knee injury'.[/url

If our hopes for a playoff place are to be realised, the Wakey game is a must win for us, Carlos and Cam should be back hopefully, wonder if Jebson will get a shot in this game, regarding Lane, I thought he looked a little better against Huddersfield, nothing outstanding, but improved.

I think we will beat Wakey, and keep our slim hopes alive.

Wakefields form has been better, but mainly at home, where I think they have won all there games, they also got beaten by Huddersfield recently easily, also I do think there big win is down as much to Warrington been awful, but this gane won't be easy.

With our home form and still something to play for you would have to be disappointed if we get beat on Sunday.

Looks like we have Kendall for Sunday .

Well that should be interesting

Aaaaaahhhhhgggg

Quite glad I can't make it now

Spot on home form been good of late 4 straight wins v leeds salford wigan and Warrington but still not won away all season.home advantage will probably get you home although if you have one of your many off days who knows

Pity Griffin’s not available

don't think it matters who the ref is- it has never determined league position but is another avenue for moaning. I just look at the team sheets so I can criticise or praise the players. If Hull take care of what they are in control of, Bones, you could ref ! or not..

Think we’ll win this, but it certainly won’t be without a fight.

Agree with others about Jordan Lame - really don’t see what he offers at all. Can see Dwyer being dropped again, I’d play Brown and have Lovodua at the hooking interchange. Would love to give Balmforth a go, not sure why he hasn’t had a chance. By all accounts he has all the attributes to be a good SL player.

Dwyer shouldn't play again for FC, he's a liability. Lane has been going backwards for two seasons.

Crucial we start this game well, Wakey will throw everything at it and if they get a roll on we might struggle. At Hudds it was clear right at the start we werent clicking and never got out of that rut.

I don't honestly believe they feel that we have as a club much hope for the top 6, do you? whilst wakey are absolutely desperate for with the IMG stuff (and rather like Castleford) they may not get up again if they get relegated. So for me we may well lose this one unless we start fast and keep our foot on the gas. And we are not too good at that at present!

If we had beaten Hudds I think we would have had a good shot at the top 6. I think now 8th is probably where we’ll finish, if not lower. Who knows, bonkers season.

Win all our home games (not impossible with the fixtures and home form), Cas away and we probably go to Saints last game needing a win to make tyec6, certainly a better position than previous years.
